Sony's flagship racing game finally has a release date.

Gran Turismo 5 will arrive in stores November 24, Sony said Friday. Designed by Polyphony Digital, the racing game was originally slated for a March 2010 release, but has since been delayed several times.

"I can only apologize to everyone for making you wait so long," Polyphony Digital President Kazunori Yamauchi said in a statement. "I hope that when you try out the wealth of driving experiences available in Gran Turismo 5, you will not be disappointed."

Sony also unveiled an official list of the game's cars and tracks. With 1,031 types of automobiles and 71 different courses, Gran Turismo 5 seems to feature a beefy amount of content.

All these delays have turned Gran Turismo 5 into a bit of a running joke within the gaming community. Now that it has a concrete release date, hopefully the game's quality will justify its lateness.
